From my experience based on several installs on everything from a 1 series, 3 series, 5 and X5, they are a really solid product. The newest iterations have the burning issue solved and they are guaranteed for life so you do not have to worry about these burning out.

Did they lower the wattage to the oem standards? I'm kind of wary of getting these without solid conformation they won't melt the plastic.

Unless they have definitely fixed the problem, an extra $75 is not that much in order to not have to worry about my car burning to the ground.

eBay, and like everything else you can find really good ones just like you can find simply trash, so just do your usual homework, check feedbacks and so on, the better ones nowadays are the 1 watt LEDs (aka SMTs, SMDs etc) and up, they have great light output, their viewing angle is almost 180 ( works best with reflectors) and their size is still close to original if not same (no modifications)
